just florentine heaven

"Heaven

I'm in heaven 

And my heart beats

So that I can hardly speak"

This is how I felt at the Academy of Fine Arts in Firenze, Italia.  To be surrounded by Michelangelo's sculptures & what felt like his presence.  David is truly amazing.  I could have stayed there forever.

Firenze (a.k.a Florence) 7.13.10

We completed our goal of seeing the Four Ninja Turtles (by seeing a sculpture by Donatello).  At the Vatican the day before, we'd seen Raphael & Da Vinci.

Walked up Giotto's Bell Tower.  Aaron really isn't fond of heights.

On top Giotto's Bell Tower.  Gorgeous view of Florence.

We now know how grateful we are NOT to be a Cartusian Monk.
